==Description== As with Sharkoon's lower-priced [[Sharkoon Tactix|Tactix]] keyboard, the Skiller ships with a CD-ROM containing a manual and driver software, a ring [[keycap puller]] and cyan [[Tai-Hao rubber double-shot series]] keycaps for the [[WASD]] and [[cursor keys]]. The German version depicted below is derived from ISO layout, while the US version is derived from Asian 101 layout instead of ANSI layout. The media keys are divided into four groups, placed around the keyboard: *Left side: Home page, favourites, refresh, back, forwards *Right side: Play/pause, stop, volume up, volume down, mute *Top left: My Computer, e-mail client, search, calculator, media player *Top right: Previous, next, wake, sleep, power The side media keys are marked with symbols, and top media keys are marked with text legends. In the case of the German example below, the text legends were not translated into German. Driver software supplied with the keyboard allows all keys to be fully programmed, seemingly so long as the driver is running (i.e. the programming appears to be in software only). There are ten profiles, and each key supports up to three [[layer]]s. Complex macro recording is provided by the software, as is per-application configuration. The keyboard is advertised as 18-key [[rollover]] (N-key rollover on the box shown below), despite being a membrane keyboard. However, when tested in 2014 by ComputerBase, this was found to be false. 18-key rollover means simultaneous detection of any 18 keys ''minimum'' (higher rollover combinations are a bonus), while Sharkoon appear to be suggesting 18-key ''maximum''. Testing showed it to be 2KRO; 4KRO is normally accepted, and 6KRO in provided in the WASD area in some manner incompatible with [[Linux]]. The flip-out feet have no rubber coating. ComputerBase also reported that the larger keys on the numeric keypad are not stabilised. There is no known information externally or internally that indicates the OEM. However, the presence of Tai-Hao keycaps suggests Tai-Hao as a possible OEM.
